Inspection- Historical Blindness
Posted on August 7, 2018 by Ken Carman	Leave a comment
by Ken Carman
The Facebook OP (original post) was a comment on the hypocrisy of the right not caring about Trump sexual misadventures. The snapback: if Democrats hadn't freed "slick Willy," had gone after Kennedy…
Except that's not what happened.
I think there is an unfortunate tendency for partisans to rely on historical blindness. Historical accuracy is crucial to any truly honest discussion, crucial to good policy making and crucial to our future.
History matters.
Let's start by separating ourselves for a moment from the Kennedy, Clinton, Trump kerfuffle. The very nature of the war and the enemy in WWII explains Hiroshima. Note: I did not type "justified." I'll leave that to those who argue either way. I have a different point to make.
The Axis seemed an almost impossible enemy. They pushed across Europe and Asia beyond persistently, ferociously, relentlessly. If not for Hitler's arrogance Russians might be speaking more German. The Japanese were even tougher. Considered a god, or god-like, by his people, the Emperor's people were willing to fight house to house, cave to cave. This kamikaze-like attitude would have made the death toll on both sides go far beyond the bombs.
Please remember I am talking perceptions held at the time. I understand there's a counter story told about the Japanese being ready to surrender: whether true or historical revisionism is beyond my point here. Common perceptions of the time explain why there was so much support once the bombs dropped, and crucial to understanding why such decisions were made.
The common perception: ending the war by invasion would have required heavier casualties on both sides. (Remember the bombs hadn't been dropped yet: the horror that ensued was more of an unknown.) I'm not just relying on history books, but testimony from my father's generation; stories told in casual discussions with family friends and around the family table. My father was in the Philippines getting ready to join the invasion. He supported not just Hiroshima, but doing it again at Nagasaki. ("We had to let them know for sure we would do it again.) He said it probably saved his life.
A common perception at the time; and understanding perceptions of the times helps us understand why decisions were made, how they were defended. The perceptions that led to the death march and the final solution are a hell of a lot harder to defend.
They are all now part of history, and why history matters.
Any claim that relies on there being no difference between the Clinton, Kennedy, Trump eras is historically blind. Claiming it was just Democrats who let Kennedy go when it came to his lady issues also historically false. Unlike Trump, or Clinton, the subject didn't come up on the same level.
The morning I polished off this column on Morning Joe I heard Joe say that people were willing to let Clinton go because the economy was good. I think this is revisionism, at best, driven by historical blindness: intentional or not. The 90s offered a significant change to how we viewed the presidency and sex. Part of the outrage over the actions of Starr and the House had to do with this kind of intrusiveness. That's because a president's sex life before Clinton was pretty much considered off the table. Oh, sure, there were rumors, and quiet talk, but not at the level we hear now. There was little to no talk radio to pump up controversies, fewer mainstream media talking heads getting ratings through extreme adversary partisanship. Plenty of past presidents on both sides were rumored to have had multiple affairs, but "rumors" is about as far as it went.
Like any social norm there were good and bad sides. This was all part of the "mind your own business" attitude which also kept spouses abusing, even killing, their significant others. This is why there were so many deaths from botched abortions and why parents with money sent their children away under bogus framing to have what? I think you know what. That's why coat hanger abortions were mostly afflicted upon the poor, and why some pols didn't give a damn. One of the good things that came out of all this I saw when Sarah Palin stood with her unmarried pregnant daughter on stage. Think what you will of Sarah, and how this was an attempt to use this for political gain: we probably agree there. But for years before that that would have been political suicide no matter what flavor partisan.
Part of the political side to this was, generally, there was no coverage of Kennedy's affairs, except mostly the very, very few scandal rags. They weren't at the Grand Union or A&P checkout. Most of us laughed at them, on the very rare occasion we might see one because they also published stories like, "A Three Head Alien is Marrying My Daughter!"
Hey, don't make fun of him! Poor three headed alien. Didn't he deserve the ink? It was enough to make his head explode. Luckily he had more than one.
If anything "freed Clinton" it was the relentless push to bring him down that went far beyond Whitewater. Republicans in the 90s at first didn't go to his sexual issues. They started with Whitewater. When Ken Starr replaced Robert Fiske it was opened up to more than Whitewater.
The distance between Monica and Whitewater is not unlike the distance between Mars and Earth. "Let's explore ALL the planets," saith Republicans. Captain Ken did so, eagerly.
"Ahoy, maties! Is that the red planet or a red dress?"
"A stained red dress, Captain!"
"Give that man a dipped cigar!"
I'll be here every Tuesday and Thursday: four shows a day.
Even Dressgate had a historical aspect to it. Most of the people of Bill Clinton's generation (and mine) generally did not consider oral to be sex. The metaphor was used: "3rd base." The more acceptable term was "foreplay." "Sex" was, well, penetration. However, being touched by Twiggy, was toxic AND rape. (So thin she could slip right in.)
Laugh, &%$# you!
The switch to considering peccadilloes fair game changed the nation. Making them MORE than just "peccadilloes" was, of course, long overdue in some cases. And how ironic you can draw a line from Hillary's husband to Trump. However, Mueller seems to be mostly keeping closer to original intent than Starr. Perhaps it's mostly the "MeToo" movement that keep Trump sex-capades splattering our news feed? But I also suspect Trump and his surrogates find it convenient: anything that might make the public say, "Enough!"
Russia? Trump brings up Russia more than damn near anyone in the country. And the media helps: following Trump like an obsessed beagle follows a scent. (Is there any other kind?) I believe Trump is counting on it increasing the tiredness factor: just like the public tired of all the Clinton nonsense. It's actually quite clever, if it works.
When we use historical figures to make partisan points the result is too often historically blind, like claiming one's polls are better than even Abe Lincoln's. (You know: the mythical polls taken before polls were taken?)
Historical blindness is, to some extent, a natural state. We haven't a clue as to most of what our great great grandparents went through, and not even that much about what our grandparents went through. At best our sense of history merely skims the surface.
But in politics it can be not just problematic but dangerous.
"We have always been at war with Eastasia…"

Close to 100 Patriots fans were left searching for alternate routes into the city due to significant delays on the Franklin commuter rail line after a man was struck and killed by a train in Norwood Tuesday morning.
FRANKLIN – The Franklin commuter rail line was significantly delayed Tuesday morning after a man was struck and killed by a train further up the line in Norwood, leaving local parade-bound Patriots fans searching for alternate ways into Boston.
The man was hit at the Norwood Depot Station on Hill Street, police said. Trains in both directions were stopped at about 8:30 a.m. and didn't resume again until after 9 a.m. Trains resumed "with significant residual delays due to a police investigation of a fatality near Norwood Center. Crews are on scene and trains are moving through at reduced speed," according to a tweet by the MBTA Commuter Rail.
Nearly 100 Patriots fans clad in Tom Brady, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski jerseys waited on the platform at the Forge Park station. The train was scheduled to arrive at 9:21 a.m., but had not arrived shortly before 10 a.m. due to the delays. The crowd thinned out by that time.
Many, like Milford resident Tyler Francescha, opted to find a different route to the parade. Francescha waited at the station for about 25 minutes before deciding to either drive or catch a train on a different commuter line.
Bellingham resident Andrew Donato waited for about a half-hour before deciding he would go home and watch the festivities on TV.
"Ten a.m. is our cut-off," he said.
Donato called the incident that occurred in Norwood "tragic."
A few feet down the platform, Maurice and Sam Godin, of Rhode Island, contemplated whether to wait it out, find another way into Boston or simply go home and watch on TV.
"We're going to flip a coin," Sam Godin said with a laugh.
Maurice Godin leaned toward watching it on TV because he said it will be more crowded trying to get onto another train closer to Boston. The Boston-area trains were packed during the Red Sox championship parade in October.
"It was elbow to elbow," he said.

From the casual observer: you are trying to hide. You pulled your sweater over your head. Everyone else in the classroom is head uncovered. There might be one or two baseball caps, but you're the one in the corner, dark and brooding.
You're the one in the classroom who has chatted up every other girl in the classroom. They smile when you talk to them, but you haven't figured out they aren't really listening. However, when asked, the girls don't mind. They get that you need to say something to someone even when it is the same five things all day.
You're the one in the classroom who hasn't said a word all year. And yet you've written this wonderful poem. You wouldn't present to the class, but you stayed in at lunch and read it to the classroom teacher. He praised your work. You walked out the door with a huge grin that quickly turned to a scowl whenever someone mentioned how happy you were for the praise.
You were sitting by yourself stimming in the lunch room. And a classmate came over and asked to sit across from you. You didn't really seem to notice, and they didn't care that you took a bite of your crackers, jumped for three minutes and then ate some more. For months this student asked to eat with you, took a seat across from you and never said a word to you. When others would offer, the classmate wanted to sit there, with you. Just last week, you stopped your pattern enough to realize you didn't know your classmate's name. "What's your name?" you asked.
You had the school wide dance competition. You were the last boy without a partner. You asked a girl in another class to dance with you. She replied, "I already promised [other boy] I would dance with him for the first two dances. Can I dance with you for the last two?" You agreed. The guys in the PE class came over and were impressed that you asked her and high fived you.
You hadn't seen a specific paraeducator since you were knee high to a june bug. She cried when you said "Hello" and chatted her up about your successes because she remembers the little boy who was curled in the corner under the bookshelf who screamed and never came out even when your parents were called at the end of the day.
You were sitting across the table at a family dinner with a family friend. You were bored out of your mind when the family friend got down to your level and showed you something in your pocket, a broken transistor. You suddenly had a million questions about all the little parts that had originally made this device work and you want to make it better, so it would never break. "Your mind and my mind work the same buddy." was all that family friend said.
You were so excited to go on the family trip. The transportation system was late, so your parents walked a block away to a sandwich shop. But you really wanted to get back to the transit station. You almost ran into the street, if it hadn't been for someone who worked with students with disabilities, suddenly turning around and asking you to stop. Your parents caught up and apologized.
The community you live in already cares for you. You might not know. The communities look a little different for each person. But many more things are possible with everyone working together than they would if there weren't people working with you.

The face of resiliency

Alicia Brand) VIEW ORIGINAL
Navy veteran Timothy Jones brought his story of survival and resiliency to the Military District of Washington community April 13 during its annual Sexual Harassment/Assault Response Program training session held at Conmy Hall on the Fort Myer portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
Jones told the assembled Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Department of Defense civilians that he was stalked, raped and hazed while serving on active duty in 1999.
"I never thought I would be raped," he said. "I can still feel the sheer terror of that night."
Following the attack, Jones struggled with whether or not to report it to his command.
"All I could think about was my career," he said. "This was 1999 and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was in full effect."
Jones ultimately opted to report the assault because he feared his attacker would harm someone else. But word of what had happened to him spread around the base and Jones soon found himself victimized by the taunts and hazing of his fellow service members.
"I would walk into the chow hall and everyone would stop talking," he said. "The next 10 years were filled with drugs and alcohol because that was the only way I could cope with being raped."
In addition to becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol, Jones was also severely depressed, so much so that he considered suicide as a way to end his pain.
"I woke up and prayed to God and said 'God, take this away from me. I can't do this anymore. I need help,'" he said.
Jones entered support programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs and participated in other veterans support groups as he began to emotionally heal from his ordeal.
"What I got was 'brother, we got you,'" he said of the support he received. "I had so many people who created a safe place for me. It took my mind away from it for a little bit."
And it was due to the support he received that Jones is now able to share his story with others and work to end and destigmatize sexual assault.
"This moment was not about me," he said. "This moment is for every single male victim who has come forward, every victim who has come forward," he said. "This moment was for my family."
Jones took questions from the audience following his 45-minute presentation.
"I want to thank you for being so open and honest," one active duty Soldier told Jones. "There's a lot of pressure specifically on male victims of assault."
Marcellus Anderson, SHARP program manager for MDW, said it is not uncommon for males to be the victim of sexual assault.
"One in eight males are sexual assault victims in their lifetime," he said. "About 12 percent of males who are victims in the Army report it."

USGLC CEO Statement on Inclusion of Global Health Funding in Year-End Spending Package
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) President and CEO, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on the agreement for combined FY21 Omnibus and emergency COVID-19 spending announced Sunday evening:
Tonight's deal to include $4 billion for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is a critical step in the right direction for our global response that will save lives and directly impact America's health and economic recovery. We are grateful Congress prioritized Gavi and the importance of global vaccine distribution.
But as long as the virus is spreading anywhere in the world, Americans are not safe, and that means our current global response is simply not enough.
There's no denying this year-end agreement was difficult and hard-fought to address many critical domestic needs. At the same time, hundreds of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have spoken out in recent months that failing to invest in a global response comes at our own peril. They recognize that as the global pandemic rages on, the growing global instability is impacting our top trading partners, boosting terrorist activity in Africa, and driving massive increases in disease, hunger, and poverty around the world.
The urgency is increasing by the day for additional emergency investments in global health, the economic and humanitarian response, and frontline U.S. civilian operations. As the 117th Congress convenes next year, the entire USGLC network will look to partner with lawmakers to ensure a robust international response in order to strengthen and protect our nation's recovery.
Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle also expressed their support for a larger global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey said, "The $4 billion for GAVI will help children across the world receive the coronavirus vaccine, though far greater investments are needed to support international COVID-19 response."
House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican Michael McCaul said, "The only way to truly stop the spread of this virus in the U.S. is to also eliminate it around the world – and that requires a coordinated global response. I'm pleased Congress has included $4 billion to assist developing countries with COVID vaccination programs through GAVI. But, more must still be done to address the indirect impacts of the pandemic, particularly the damage its done to stabilization efforts in fragile states and on the food security of vulnerable populations around the world. After all, the world is safest when America is leading."
The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (www.usglc.org) is a broad-based influential network of 500 businesses and NGOs; national security and foreign policy experts; and business, faith-based, academic, military, and community leaders in all 50 states who support strategic investments to elevate development and diplomacy alongside defense in order to build a better, safer world.


Gonna love today, gonna love today.
Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today.
Love love me, love love me, love love.
But now, but now, it's gone away.
Gonna make you a lover.
Big bust on, big bust on.
Shock shock me, shock shock.
Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile.

Madhubala winks from the banner to my Bollywood posts. Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya ranks in my top ten Bollywood dance numbers. I've spent many a Saturday shut in my office with Naushad's soundtrack soaring through the background.
But, until this weekend I had never actually watched Mughal-e-Azam. Shameful.
Mughal-e-Azam is the biggest Indian film of alllll tiiiiime. It's so big, the Indian army appear in the credits. It's so big, it took K. Asif 15 years to make. It's so big, it has Prithviraj Kapoor on a war elephant. It's so big, it's not even banned in Pakistan.
For something so epic, the plot is simple: Dilip Kumar falls in love with Madhubala. At least, it would be simple if he wasn't Prince Salim and she wasn't common Anarkali … and his Dad didn't happen to be Mughal emperor and dead set against it.
It's not just an epic: it's a historical epic.
Emperor Akbar is played with broad-chested, brooding, 'tached gravitas by Prithviraj Kapoor. He glowers. He intones. He strides. He has a penchant for pastels.
Dilip Kumar, meanwhile, has amazing hair. It only drifts out of place when he's atop a tower and about to be blow up by a cannon – and a flyaway quiff can be excused, given the situation. As romantic prince he seems painted, smoothed into his clothes.
Madhubala, first appearing as a living statue, is every ounce the cinematic icon. She is beautiful; in Teri Mehfil Mein Qismat she even sparkles. We first meet her in Mohe Panghat Pe, Anarkali's debut dance for the royal court. These are the moments of Salim's falling in love with her, and surely us too, because she winks and simpers and bites her lip. The camera delights in her, from the first plan from the backing dancers' multicoloured ghagras to her perfect veiled pose, centred – just there – at the bottom of the screen.
Madhubala's wondrousness wavers beyond the songs, however. She is at her best in the eyebrow raises and the chin tilts; in dialogue she gives quivering starlet, and not much happens beyond the swoon. The exception is the fantastic moment post-Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, where she meets Prithviraj Kapoor's chest-beating with fierce certainty. I cheered.
Nigar Sultana plays courtly rival Bahar, with a perfect husk to her voice and glint to her eye. Near the end when things are rapidly falling apart she appears dressed in black, like a carrion bird come to feed.
I think what enchants me most about Mughal-e-Azam is the colourisation. There's something extraordinary about colouring a film in forty years after its initial release. And, perhaps there is something loving about bringing Anarkali, Salim and Akbar to life again. It's a little garish, a little oversaturated, and yet most of all it's magical.


The Korea Polar Data Center (KPDC) is an organization dedicated for managing different types of data acquired during scientific research that South Korea carries out in Antarctic and Arctic regions. South Korea, as an Antarctic Treaty Consultative Party (ATCP) and an accredited member of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) established the Center in 2003 as part of its effort to joint international Antarctic research.
In 2010, South Korea formulated the "Master-plan for Polar Data Center of South Korea" to found its own polar data center. Since then, ongoing efforts are being made to construct the solid infrastructure for data management by enacting and implementing polar data management policies, developing and operating a meta data management system, and establishing the data management system for each research area and digital data management system.
In 2012, it pushed forward to providing training courses and raising awareness, targeting researchers participating in polar studies so as to increase efficiency of data management based on the established system and infrastructure. It also established the schemes for data back up and storage for acquired digital data to be safely management and permanently stored in its own system. Furthermore, it has contributed to the international society's polar researches by sharing the internally obtained polar data and experience with people concerned from Korea and other countries. In 2017, it reorganized the overall data sharing system to improve the accessibility and convenience for those who use the polar data, along with the efforts for advancing the related systems supported by the specialized IT consulting.
The KPDC has a plan to develop and operate the Portal Service for Polar Data to provide comprehensive and various polar information and data so that researchers can have easy access to polar data by efficient management and distribution of the data. It also aims to expand its infrastructure for safe management and storage of polar data, as well as to upgrade, on a continuous basis, the systematic tools for the comprehensive management of polar data obtained from diverse research fields of polar regions.


See Pictures From One Direction's New Video Shoot At Clevedon Pier!
One Direction were shooting their next music video yesterday at the seaside!
The boys were hanging out at Clevendon Pier in Somerset, being silly, playing football and swinging around on lampposts.
Yes, it does look like the coldest music video ever made (including Let It Go from Frozen).
We have no idea what song this video's for. It could even be an advert or a TV show bit, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
Remember to check back to funkidslive.com for the latest One Direction news.


My husband and I have been on a debt-free journey ever since we got married. Although, if I'm being honest, we have been on a debt-free journey since I decided student loans were my only way to get a college education.
During college and graduate school, I understood I would have to pay the money back, but didn't fully realize how a large amount of debt would prevent and distract me from accomplishing other important financial goals. Now, my husband and I have to stay focused on our monthly budget, so we can pay off our debt.
What I'm realizing is our financial journey is not that different than our spiritual journey. The same way it takes discipline to stay on budget, it takes discipline to stay focused on Jesus. Because the same way that saying no to some good things now will lead us into financial freedom later, learning to let go of selfish desires is what allows us to experience true freedom in Christ.
Unbudgeted purchases pull us away from our financial goals. The product doesn't have to be evil or sinful to pull us off our budget. Likewise, life sends us lots of opportunities that distract us and stop us from experience real intimacy with Jesus.
1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." So take a moment and think about how you spend your time, resources, energy, spiritual gifts, and understanding of God. Everything we have was meant to bring God glory.
When we make decisions based on what will build His kingdom instead of what will bring us wealth, influence, or more Instagram followers, we'll find we experience more joy, more peace, and great intimacy with our Father in heaven (Mark 8:34-38).
To have financial success and freedom, we must stick to a written plan, a monthly budget. God's written plan for His people is the Bible. When we follow God's plan, we find freedom in Christ.
We all want to read the Bible more. But something always seems to get in the way. The kids get up early. Our alarms don't go off. Our work schedule changes.
My husband and I struggled with "budget busters," purchases that set us off track for our monthly spending and saving. But we've learned some techniques to keep us on track that are just as helpful for spending time in God's Word.
Find a buddy or accountability partner.
When I see a pair of shoes that I really like (ahem, need), instead of buying the shoes right away, I consult with my husband and our monthly budget. How does this relate to reading our Bibles more? If you struggle with reading the Bible consistently, reach out to a friend, spouse, or family member who will hold you accountable.
Money is like time — we always feel like we don't have enough. Setting financial goals helps us prioritize how we spend our money. Pretty soon, we realize how much we can do with what we have. Learning to set priorities for our time can have the same effect.
Psalm 90:12 says, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." When we understand that our time is finite, just like our resources, we pay more attention to where it goes. Try tracking how you spend your time for a few days. What are you giving time to that isn't helping you grow closer to Jesus? Then, make adjustments accordingly.
Distractions provide temporary joy, but will only delay future success. Guarding against financial distractions might mean avoiding Target on pay day. Guarding against distractions in your quiet time can be as simple as leaving your phone in another room or waking up before everyone else in the house.
The world tells us to strive to achieve, that living the #blessed life is having all of the things we want. But God has called us to so much more!
A relationship with Jesus is the only thing we will take from this life into the next. That's why Jesus is always connecting how we use our resources to how we treat others. He wants to use to spend our time, money, and energy on something that will last. Any wealth that comes our way, Jesus tells us to generously bless others (Mark 10:21). Any success or talents we have were given to us by God to help spread the Gospel (Matthew 25:14-30). Our good health and physical strength? You guessed it. They are gifts to use to serve God and His people (Philippians 2:14-17).
Putting God first means serving Him with everything we have in whatever situation we're in. It means allowing His love for us to overflow into the lives of the people around us.
It's not easy to focus on the essentials, to stick to God's plan, and to invest wisely. But as we do, our financial situation changes and so does our relationship with Jesus. What seems like a trade off — trading our way for God's way or excess now for freedom later — is really a trade up. Just like we'll have more fun on a vacation when we're not stressing about how to pay for it, we get the most out of this life when we realize it's not about us.

The basic aim of oily skin care is to remove excess sebum from the skin. But one mistake mostly done is people tend to over wash the face a number of times and remove all the oils completely. Oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. If you make the skin dry by completely removing oil using harsh soaps or face washes, the skin tries to correct it naturally and starts producing more and more oil, which results in increased sebum.
Start with a cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. Choose a cleanser, which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid. It reduces the excessive sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day. You can use more times during humid times.
Most of the oily skin care products are oil-free. But it is always good to check the ingredients before you buy it. Do not buy products which is marked as 'suitable for all skin types'. Instead, choose those which are meant exclusively for oily skin types.
If your skin is extremely oily, your toner can contain a little alcohol. Toning is the second step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. Make sure not to use toner excessively. Over use of alcohol based toners may dehydrate the skin and results in more oil production. Wet a cotton ball with toner and wipe onto face and let it air dry before putting on a moisturizer. Toner with witch hazel are good for oily skin types.
The degree of oiliness of your skin will determine whether you need moisturizer or not. If you do decide to include a moisturizer, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free, lipid-free and non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Use tomato, lemon, yogurt and clay face masks at least twice a week.


India is a fast growing economy, and this has been acknowledged on a global basis by many investors. Investments in companies and entrepreneurs have risen rapidly, and opportunities are abound, with thousands of investment opportunities currently available on the Indian Investment Network.
But what kind of investors are there? Currently, a lot of the investment is for existing companies that are looking for a second round of investment in order to expand. As a result, seed capital investment has almost been pushed to the background.
Seed capital is considered the initial round of investment - the initial source of funding that get things off the ground. The amounts are usually smaller than in the later stages of venture capital investment, but the risks are also higher. Although these investments have the potential to be very rewarding, many investors in India are said to be looking to pay more in later stages for less risk.
To increase seed capital investment, and keep a steady flow of new entrepreneurs coming out of India's market, some groups and sites have taken the time to look at the bigger picture. The Indian Investment Network is one of a few sites looking to help connect both sides here, where angel investors looking to invest seed capital can browse a large database of new business entrepreneurs in India.
Entrepreneurs from India also have the advantage of connecting through other branches of the network, as we connect entrepreneurs to investors in over 20 countries worldwide. Some reports have claimed that many Indian entrepreneurs looking to raise seed capital have started companies elsewhere with the hopes of attracting more "daring" angel investors - but now the option exists online.


This week, I'll be making some adorable farm-themed pot holders. As I work through the process, I'll be providing some tips on various supplies, tools, and techniques that I find helpful to get the job done right.
It's a chance to dig into my scrap bins and that always gets me excited.
Let's check out the pattern and gather our supplies. By the end of the week, you'll be able to gift those pot holders or you'll be using them in your own kitchen. They're so cute, I bet you can't make just one.
The pattern I'm using this week is by ellie mae designs. It's called Barnyard Buddies.
There are many different types of thread that can be used for applique. A lot depends on what type of stitch you choose and what end result you want. Experience and experimenting (are they the same thing?) can help to figure out what works best for what situation.
One of my favorite threads for satin stitch applique is a shiny thread. AHA – a new technical term for a thread. Technically, this shiny Gütermann thread is a 40 weight rayon thread that is used for machine embroidery. It's amazing for all kinds of machine applique, in particular, satin stitching. I love that it comes in small spools, so it's easy to get a variety of colors without breaking the bank.
It's great to keep your threads organized by type. This neat little box holds up to 26 spools of thread which would provide you with a wide variety of colors. Do you see the imposter in that box? I tried to sort out the odd ones, but I missed one.
I don't use this thread in the bobbin. There's no need to put the most costly thread in the bobbin where no one will see it. I use a lighter weight thread for the bobbin (60wt works well). If the tension on your sewing machine is functioning properly, there's no need to put a matching thread in the bobbin. I like to use black for darker threads and white for the lighter threads.
Let's not forget the workhorse of threads. For quilters, that would be our piecing thread which is a 50wt thread. I like to use the 100% cotton which comes on the beige colored spools. It also comes in a wide variety of colors in small and large spools. Again that makes it super easy to get a wide range of colors without going broke.
This 50wt thread is also great for blanket stitch applique.
The pot holders are made using the fusible applique technique. This is the most durable applique technique and very practical for the pot holders. That means we need some fusible webbing and a stabilizer to prevent the applique stitches from bunching up. More on that later this week.
There are several different weights of fusible webbing. This type of project doesn't necessarily require the lite version, but if I were making a bed quilt, I would use the lite version.
It's strongly suggested that you don't use the heaviest version if you're going to stitch on the fused applique.
As for the stabilizer, again, there are many, many different stabilizers on the market. For fusible applique, the kind that tears away is the best. The satin stitches will perforate the product and it falls away easily after the stitching is complete. You'll see what I mean later this week.
The pot holders are finished with a bound edge. I could make my own binding, but I thought I'd try a premade extra wide (⅝") binding. It's quite wide – maybe even a bit too wide, but for the number of layers that are going into the pot holders, I think it might just do the trick. It's a polycotton blend, but for a pot holder that's OK. You may not want to put it on your cotton quilt but there are other premade bindings if you don't want to make your own binding. But I digress.
The key to successful and useful pot holders is an insulated fleece. You could use regular batting, but the heat will quickly penetrate through the batting which wouldn't be a good thing. You'll notice that this product is silver because it has heat resistant capabilities that will protect your hands when using the pot holders. Despite their cuteness, we want these pot holders to be used.
I see on the packaging some other interesting uses for this product. Hmm – a future project? You bet!
Next up, we need to choose some fabric to make the pot holders. I've chosen one base fabric for each of the animals. I don't think I need to tell you which fabric is for which animal. It's a great way to use up fat quarters. One fat quarter is enough to make a matching pair of pot holders.
This was the best thing I could ever have done. It's made my scraps very accessible and I dig out these boxes all the time when I'm looking for something small.
You'll notice that the lid on the yellow box is about to pop off. That means it's time to make something YELLOW! That might be a good challenge (project for another day). It's a lot of fun. But I digress.
I think that covers all the supplies that we need for our appliqued pot holders. We're going to need a few tools, but we'll be gathering those tomorrow and prepping our pattern.
Gather your supplies and I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

Democrats' desperate ploy to unseat President Trump over "mental health" false diagnosis will push America to bloody civil war
Sunday, January 07, 2018 by: Mike Adams
Tags: 25th Amendment, Alt-Left, civil war, communism, Dangerous, democrats, deranged, intolerance, left cult, Mental illness, mentally fit, Michael Wolff, outrage, President Trump, psychiatry, Soviet Union, unhinged, White House
(Natural News) On the heels of the new book "Fire and Fury" by Michael Wolff — which has already been largely discredited as a work of fiction — unhinged Democrats are now pushing to unseat President Trump by claiming he's "mentally unfit for office." This dangerous, deranged ploy is the latest desperate attempt by Democrats who first tried to eliminate Trump by weaponizing the surveillance state to illegally spy on Trump's campaign team, then attempted to block the Electoral College from confirming Trump's election victory, then tried to block Trump's inauguration, and now are drumming up a "mental health" excuse in an attempt to depose a democratically-elected President they deeply hate.
This tactic, of course, mirrors the strategies of the old Soviet Union and Chinese communists who used "mental health" as an excuse to justify the mass murder of political opponents and educated citizens who opposed their political regimes. "It's very dangerous… That's what they did in Russia. That's what they did in China. That's what they did in apartheid South Africa. How dare liberals, people on the left, try to undo democracy by accusing a president of being mentally ill without any basis," warned Alan Dershowitz, a well-known left-leaning attorney and legal consultant.
"There's only one thing worse than trying to criminalize political differences," Dershowitz went on to explain, "and that's trying to 'psychiatrize' them. These psychiatrists now, who are trying to diagnose without ever having met the man, that's what they did in Russia… locked [them] up in mental hospitals."
This Soviet tactic rooted in totalitarianism and junk "mental health" science doesn't seem to bother Democrats, of course, who are themselves teetering on the edge of runaway insanity due to their unbounded hatred and mass paranoia.
The deranged, deluded Left has become the real danger to America
The greater truth in all this is that the Left, in attempting to overthrow the results of an election whose outcome they don't like, has proven itself to be rooted in a totalitarian philosophy of intolerance and hatred. Thanks to the unbridled hatred of the Left, the minute any candidate runs for office as a Republican, that candidate is immediately branded a racist, sexist, islamophobe and bigot, even if such characterizations were never even dreamed of prior to that person's political engagement.
The Left is now so full of hatred, rage and intolerance that left-wing journalists at the Huffington Post now openly call to "kill all white men." White people are now so routinely demonized that merely being born with white skin is justification for leftists to berate you, smear you, demean you and call for you to be literally killed. Through this intense drumbeat of daily hatred and rage, the Left is setting up America for an actual ethnic cleansing of all Whites, warns Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan advisor. The toppling of white historical statues was only the beginning… what comes next is door-to-door executions of people for being White, all based on the Left's radicalized definitions of "equality" and "social justice" and "fairness."
Yes, to the Left, murder of Whites is now fully justified. Even farmers' markets are now being attacked and derided by the Left as racist activities attended by too many Whites. Demonstrating the height of insanity that now seems commonplace among deranged Leftists, a Drexel University professor openly espoused "white genocide" for Christmas, effectively urging his readers to consider the mass murder of White people solely based on the color of their skin.
In a run-up to this push for nationwide anti-White genocide, the Left has even resorted to destroying language by demanding that university books be "burned" if they contain certain trigger words that deranged Leftists cannot tolerate. Some college professors are claiming that mathematics is racist because the history of math is full of too many White people. Other college instructors also claim that philosophy is racist because many philosophers are also "White." A left-wing Muslim professor in a California university says that violence against Whites is "morally required", and the University of Delaware now requires all new students to attend a course that declares "all whites are racist."
The "War on Whites" is now fully operational, thanks to the derision, violence and intense hatred of the Left, which now openly judges people explicitly by the color of their skin.
To the deranged Left, all conservatives are racist and mentally ill by default
This demented, deranged hatred, racism and intolerance is not practiced by President Trump; it's practiced daily by the insane Left in America, which has already crossed the tipping point of unbridled delusion. To Leftists, you see, all conservatives are, by definition, mentally ill, which means no conservative is ever fit for office.
These same Leftists can never recognize their own mass mental illness for the simple reason that it's shared by all the people around them. So their insanity seems "normalized" as long as they're at a radicalized California university campus, for example, or being spoon-fed a daily dose of lies and delusions by Rachel Maddow or Steven Colbert. The extreme intolerance of the Left is so ingrained in their own mental programming that they see anyone different from them as being insane and dangerous. They can't stand Trump because he's coarse, blunt and even satirical. To the Left, the style in which something is done or said is far more important than substance. That's why they could listen to Obama openly lie to them about "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" while praising him as a genius saint, even when they were being lied to the entire time.
It didn't matter to Democrats that Obama and Hillary Clinton committed serious acts of treason against America — including Operation Fast and Furious, running a money laundering operation to fund Iran's nuclear weapons, or ordering Border Patrol to stand down while America was invaded by illegal immigrants — because they carried out these acts with a style and sophisticated style that the Left finds acceptable. To Leftists, you see, style is all that matters, not substance. When Trump operates with a style the Left doesn't like, they designate him as "insane." Yet to real America, we find Trump's tweets hilarious and rather clever, for the most part.
The dangerous realm of quack science psychiatry and its weaponization by the deranged Left
What's especially dangerous in all this, however, is the Left's attempted weaponization of psychiatry, a quack science, loosey-goosey realm of gobbledygook that's already the laughing stock of the hard sciences. Psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing people with "mental disorders" that don't exist. The entire made-up disease of ADHD, for example, is nothing but a fictional construct of psychiatry. There is no measurable diagnosis of ADHD that's rooted in neurology, biology, physiology or science. A few years ago, psychiatrists celebrated the finding that children with ADHD had stunted brain growth, but it turns out to have been caused by the ADHD drugs themselves, not the "disease" of ADHD (which doesn't even exist and is a total fabrication of the industry of psychiatry).
For the record, psychiatry also says that Oppositional Defiance Disorder is a mental illness. This "disease," dubbed O.D.D., is "diagnosed" by disagreeing with your psychiatrist. Thus, the very act of saying that you do not have a mental illness is sufficient for psychiatrists to diagnose you with a mental illness. Catch-22, right? Democrats play the same Catch-22 game by essentially claiming that anyone who doesn't fully agree with the tenants of liberalism — open borders, boundless welfare, a totalitarian state, worshiping Islam, having no voter ID laws, etc. — is mentally unsound. In other words, the Left believes that only Leftists are sane. Everyone else must be removed from power, they claim, because they see the world differently and that makes them mentally unfit.
Psychiatry is so isolated from reality that the World Health Organization now says playing video games is a mental disorder, but encouraging your children to have their genitalia surgically maimed for life as part of their "transgender" coming out is not a mental disorder, the W.H.O. is set to announce this year. Furthering the twisted, junk science agenda of modern psychiatry, Google recently partnered with a drug company front group to hit users with a mental illness "self-diagnosis tool" that would funnel gullible users into psychiatrists' offices to demand mind-altering psychotropic drugs. Yes, Google is part of the mental health "psychiatry" drug cartel racket. Is anyone surprised?
Now, the quack science world of psychiatry is being weaponized to try to remove a sitting President from office. Notably, this tactic is only being invoked after all other attempts to eliminate Trump have failed (or even backfired). The Russia collusion hoax turned out to be a complete work of fiction dreamed up by the fake news media. The Electoral College effort by deranged left-wing Hollywood movie stars also turned out to be a dud. The recent "Fire and Fury" book by Michael Wolff turns out to be largely fiction, and lunatic Leftists are rapidly running out of options, accelerating them to a point of sheer desperation. So they've turned to the weaponization of psychiatry as a truly last-ditch, desperate effort to unseat a president they deeply despise, even though he was duly elected by the American people via the same democratic process that previously brought Obama to power.
But psychiatry is rooted in such quackery that any person can be deemed "mentally unfit" by a sufficiently motivated group of psychiatrists. Psychiatry has no objective science behind it. There aren't any brain scans, blood tests or lab findings that "prove" mental states. Everything about psychiatry is mere opinion, and those opinions are of course heavily distorted because they're based on human psychiatrists who cannot, by definition, be objective observers of human behavior.
Even worse, all these psychiatrists currently declaring President Trump to be "mentally unfit" have never even met with President Trump. This "remote diagnosis" approach to observing Trump on TV and then declaring him to be unstable is, itself, rooted in sheer delusion and the complete abandonment of medical ethics. Any psychiatrist declaring anyone to be clinically and mentally unfit without having first met with them in a therapeutic setting and conversed with them for several hours is practicing dangerous quackery (and should be stripped of their medical license). Yet this quackery is apparently good enough for Democrats, who need no actual science, real facts or real evidence to hold Trump in contempt.
To Leftists, their hatred is enough all by itself. Just the fact that everybody hates Trump on the Left should be enough, they believe, to demand his resignation. But at the same time, all the actual evidence pointing to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch and James Comey as actual traitors who committed serious felony crimes is systematically ignored. That's because the Left has no need for real facts, real evidence or real science. (Climate change, anyone?)
Pushing America toward violent civil war
Left-wingers in America should be careful what they hope for, of course, because if they do manage to unseat President Trump from office, that will be the trigger event for what I have long called "Second Amendment activation" across America.
Imagine a million armed patriots marching on Washington D.C. and finally arresting half the U.S. Senate, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and anyone else they can locate. Imagine real justice (via public trials) finally being served in this nation as members of the deep state are held to account for their treason and criminal acts which have repeatedly sought to overthrow the rule of law. Also imagine every communist, terrorist or Antifa sympathizer (such as DNC deputy chair Keith Ellison) currently serving in the U.S. Senate and House being arrested, outed and held for public trial. That's one scenario that could unfold if the Left tries to depose President Trump via its insane "mental health" tactic.
Such a move would, of course, set off a nationwide civil war. Imagine the chaos in the streets if the Left succeeds in their demented political coup in Washington, stripping Trump of his power while simultaneously giving the finger to the tens of millions of voters who put Trump into office. If the violent Left were to succeed in removing a sitting President from office due to a fictitious, bogus reason rooted in the quack science of "psychiatry," the tens of millions of Second Amendment followers across America — whom this country's Founding Fathers directed to act as the nation's "immune system" against tyranny — will realize there is no option remaining other than to fight to defend America. Elections, you see, are the non-violent way to decide who runs a nation. But the Left, we now know, despises election outcomes they don't win. And they attempt to de-legitimize them in every way imaginable, effectively nullifying the very idea that they respect elections at all. The only elections the Left respects, it turns out, are the elections they win. All other elections must be overthrown, according to Leftist ideology.
Should the Left succeed in throwing out the results of the 2016 presidential election, all the restraint currently practiced by armed Americans will likely be lifted. It will become apparent to gun-owning patriots that their country is now being stolen from them, and they must take up arms to defend America, its Constitution and the rule of law. That's my prediction of what may happen, although I hope it never comes to that.
There is an actual left-wing communist plot in Washington D.C. to overthrow America and install a totalitarian left-wing regime
The Left is lawless. It is deranged. The Left now believes that "the ends justify the means," which is why they have sacrificed all credibility in mainstream journalism in a desperate attempt to unseat Trump and seize control of the White House. The Left will try anything — including junk science psychiatry — to unseat the President who was elected by the American people.
As the editor of this website, I am not yet calling for a Second Amendment activation across America. But should the Left kidnap President Trump and lock him in a mental institution as part of an illegal attempt to overthrow this nation, I would at that point issue an urgent call for all citizens to immediately defend this nation against the attempted communist coup under way. Let us hope it doesn't come to that, but if the deranged Left keeps pushing us toward civil war, that's exactly what they will eventually get for the simple reason that there is no circumstance under which mainstream America is going to allow their President to be deposed by a band of insane, deranged, left-wing lunatics who despise everything America stands for.
Here are some websites we publish that can help you prepare for this possibility, should the deranged Left continue to push for civil war:

A banking culture that puts financial gain above all else fuels greed and makes bankers more likely to cheat, according to a new study.
Researchers in Switzerland studying bank workers and other professionals in experiments in which they win more money if they cheat has discovered that bankers become more dishonest when they are made particularly aware of their professional role.
When bank employees are primed to think less about their profession and more about normal life, however, they are less inclined to dishonesty, according to the study published in the journal Nature on Nov 19.
A face you can't really trust: Mr Perkins, president of the Bank of Evil, from the Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment 2010 cartoon Despicable Me. A new study has revealed that bankers are more likely to be greedy and cheat, more so than professionals working in other sectors.
Fehr's team conducted the experiment first with bankers, then repeated it with other types of workers as comparisons. The first study involved 128 employees all levels of a large international bank – the researchers were sworn to secrecy about which one – and 80 staff from a range of other banks.
They were then asked to toss a coin 10 times, unobserved, and report the results. With each toss, they knew whether heads or tails would yield a US$20 (RM67) reward. They were also told that they could keep their winnings if their coin-toss accumulations were more than or equal to those of a randomly selected subject from a pilot study.
The results show that the control group reported 51.6% winning tosses and the treatment group – whose banking identity had been emphasised to them – reported 58.2% as wins, giving a misrepresentation rate of 16%. The proportion of subjects cheating was 26%.
The same experiments with employees in other sectors – including manufacturing, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals – showed that they don't become more dishonest when their professional identity or banking-related information is emphasised.

Корейцы на Украине () — национальное меньшинство, представленное выходцами из Дальнего Востока СССР, которые были ранее депортированы в 1930-х годах преимущественно в Среднюю Азию и Казахстан. Большинство украинских корейцев проживают в южных регионах, больше всего — в Крыму и Николаевской области.

История
Первые корейцы появились на Украине в начале XX века. Массовое заселение началось в 1950—1960-х годах в Николаевскую, Херсонскую области и в Крым, где корейцы арендовали землю под бахчеводство и для выращивания лука. В городах Украины корейцы начали появляться во времена «хрущёвской оттепели». Это были в основном выпускники высших учебных заведений. И сегодня корейская диаспора на Украине характеризуется высоким образовательно-культурным уровнем: около 80 % граждан Украины корейского происхождения имеют высшее образование).

До начала 1990-х годов не существовало, как и во всём СССР, никаких национально-культурных обществ национальных меньшинств, и только в 1992 году была создана «Ассоциация Корейцев Украины». Сегодня в 27 городах Украины действуют региональные ассоциации. По неофициальным данным, сегодня на Украине проживает около 50 000 корейцев. Большинство корейцев попали на Украину из Узбекистана, Казахстана и Дальнего Востока. Необходимо отметить, что украинские корейцы, несмотря на свою малочисленность, активно включились в общественно-политическую и национально-культурную жизнь независимой Украины. Начиная с 1992 года во многих городах и, в первую очередь, в Киеве были открыты воскресные школы по обучению корейскому языку, национальные ансамбли, культурные центры.

В 1995 году впервые на Украине при Киевском Национальном лингвистическом университете было открыто корейское отделение, где начали готовить специалистов филологов-переводчиков корейского языка. В 1996 году было открыто корейское отделение при Киевском национальном университете им. Тараса Шевченко, организована корейская группа при гимназии восточных языков в Киеве. В 1998 году корейский язык начали изучать в Международном университете лингвистики и права. В городе Харькове при культурном центре «Чосон» впервые в Украине организована специализированная школа с углубленным изучением корейского языка и литературы «Дьонсури». На высоком уровне функционируют воскресные школы в Киеве, Харькове, Днепре, Херсоне и др.

I'm working on a sshrc funding proposal. For those who aren't familiar, funding from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canad makes the difference between attending and not attending graduate school. I've decided to pursue the PhD and working on the proposal is both exciting and frustrating. I'm working with vague ideas about women, violence, and the internet but since we know that this is a huge issue it's taking a long time to get a focus and research question.
I'm kicking around ideas about why gendered violence occurs online, cultures of resistance against the harassment, why certain individuals become targets/victims and their agency, Lessig's four pillars of internet governance (norms, laws, architecture, market), the role of the internet in constructing women's bodies, identities, consciousness (this taken from Romano's piece below), and of course what to do about it all, but first understanding it from a philosophical perspective.
Maybe I'll come back and link these up later but if you're curious about any of them I advise select text > right click (control+click on mac) > search in google.
I see history, philosophy, and com studies in this.
Also in the mix is Donna Haraway's Simians, Cyborgs, and Women because you can't talk about women and technology without the Cyborg Manifesto. How I missed the Cyborg Manifesto. It's probably been two years since I last tried to get through understand read it.
It's been a long day and I ran out of food hours ago. Even though I'm not done I have to leave for food and rest. I'll be back early or work late at home or something because I need a draft for my letter writers in the morning.
If anyone has any great ideas let me know. I could use one before 9am tomorrow.
I am also SSHRC-ing and totally out of ideas! Yay! I feel your pain.
Well I don't have any ideas, especially for that level of work, but I just wanted to drop a note to say I wish you luck; you'll do great!
@Alexandra: are you switching to a canadian school? Where do you submit your app?
Thanks Mita. I read the NYT article to the end. I've never seen an article on trolls with that much depth. So much to think about!
I'm not switching schools – Canadians applying through a PhD program abroad can still apply (this was actually a surprise for me – I only found out a couple of weeks ago, so the application process has been kind of frenzied), and we just submit our applications directly to SSHRC.
Which schools are you applying to?
@ Alexandra: frenzied? I feel your pain. My head is swirling from trying to get a research focus, filling out the app, applying for work for next semester, grading the papers for my TA job, doing my own school work (!) not to mention still trying to follow up on my kid's drama class. I'm looking forward to …hmm? when is break time?
If only I had the sun and the beach! I bet you spend all your time there…. 😉 I want to go to grad school in California too.


Cannabis could help prevent the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, scientists have claimed. The drug triggers changes in the area of the brain associated with traumatic memories, they found. The new study adds to a growing body of research showing marijuana can have a positive effect on PTSD.

As the holidays move into full gear, what should be the most wonderful time of the year is often not that way for many employees. The added burden of family obligations combined with the huge push for end-of-year projects in an already shortened work month can make some employees lose productivity and isolate themselves from coworkers. During this potentially overwhelming season, it is important that employees have access to help. Employers can play a critical role in ensuring workers are aware of resources, such as an employee assistance program, that can provide help not only through the holidays, but all year long.
A group of psychology researchers at Florida State University have developed a simple computer-based approach to treating anxiety sensitivity, something that could have major implications for veterans and other groups who are considered at risk for suicide. "We have been using computer-delivered interventions for many years now in an effort to more efficiently deliver effective treatments," said psychology Professor Brad Schmidt, director of the Anxiety and Behavioral Health Clinic.
If employees dread Fridays just as much as Mondays, there may be some toxic stew cooking in the kitchen, says Bernard Marr, an expert in strategy, performance management, analytics, KPIs and big data. Marr points out some of the more easily missed warning signs of a poisonous working environment — red flags benefit and HR decision-makers should be aware of.
Bonnie Zientek spent years stealing drugs from patients in Richmond, as a nursing director at more than one facility, and sick people went without narcotics. When an employer finally reported her to the Virginia Board of Nursing in 1999, the panel threw her a lifeline: go into rehab and get the black mark off her record. So she did. And within two years she had another job and was stealing fentanyl, oxycodone, morphine. By late 2003, with state monitoring starting to make it more difficult for her to take patients' drugs at will, she hatched a new plan.
A study just released by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health compared the use of prescription opioids and stimulants among high school graduates, non-graduates, and their college-attending peers, and found that young adults who do not attend college are at particularly high risk for nonmedical prescription opioid use and disorder. In contrast, the nonmedical use of prescription stimulants is higher among college-educated young adults. Results of the study are published online in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.
A new program for people with chronic pain helps individuals reduce the need for opioid medications. Researchers from the University of Utah developed a program called Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement that applies mindfulness techniques to alleviate pain and craving. The MORE intervention concentrates on helping people to recover a sense of meaning and fulfillment in everyday life, embracing its pleasures, and pain without turning to substance use as a coping mechanism.
Two studies in recent weeks have found that anxiety, depression and guilt can physically change and damage the brain from preschool through adulthood. In a study published in JAMA Psychiatry it was found that an important brain area involved in emotion — the right anterior insula — is smaller in school-aged children diagnosed with depression as preschool-aged children, and can predict risk of future struggles with depression.
Depression among workers is costing U.S. employers billions, but few companies have devised strategies for effectively reducing the financial and operational effects of depressive illness. While depression and other mental illnesses are covered under the vast majority of corporate health care plans, the stigma associated with the conditions deters many employees from seeking help because they fear losing their jobs. Employers can take proactive steps to reassure employees that help is available if they need it, but they must also be wary of potential discrimination litigation that can arise when employees seek special accommodations for depression or other mental disorders.
In the past alcohol and drug addictions were seen as character failings, yet today they are viewed as treatable diseases of the brain. So what could be better than finding a gene linked directly to alcoholism? One team of researchers might say identifying a whole network of genes for alcoholism. In a new study, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered certain sets of genes working together as a network in alcoholics, though not in nonalcoholics. Their findings could lead to future treatments and therapies for alcoholics and possibly help doctors screen for alcoholism.

The article at Ars Technica about a supercapacitor battery really caught my eye. Storing electrical energy is one of those age-old problems that ti seems we're looking for answers to in both large and small systems.
According to Wikipedia, a supercapacitor isn't a battery at all – although when you get down to "what's it do" definitions I think it's pretty close – it stores a electrical energy and lets you discharge it again. It just doesn't do it with some electro chemical reaction (which is what I think of as a battery). There's mechanical systems that do these things too – flywheels and such. They get to fight with gravity and friction to reduce efficiencies though – which apparently makes them a tad inefficient at the smaller scale of things.
I don't know what all the choices are with storing electrical energy, but I do know what some of the failure modes can look like. A few early experiments with fast-charging rechargeable batteries and overloading capacitors made that pretty clear. I don't know how susceptible these super-capacitors are to my style of stupid experiments that induce large exothermic results, but hopefully fairly minimal. I'm looking forward to something in this realm coming to market and getting more details on it.

Olivier Mosset (born 1944 in Bern, Switzerland) is a Swiss visual artist. He lives and works in Tucson, Arizona.

Life and work
Mosset has spent considerable time in New York and Paris. In Paris in the 1960s he was a member of the BMPT (art group), along with Daniel Buren, Michel Parmentier, and Niele Toroni, their initials reflected in their collective acronym. The group questioned notions of authorship and originality, implying that they often did each other's works, and that the art object was more important than its authorship. They sought to democratize art through their radical procedures and by repeating a specific compositional device across multiple grounds: Mosset focused on the circle, which he painted in some two hundred iterations between 1966 and 1974. As a young artist, Mosset was an assistant to both Jean Tinguely and Daniel Spoerri. In the Fall 1968 edition of "The Paris Review" appeared "Reproductions of five paintings by Olivier Mosset." The five halftone photogravures of paintings of concentric circles centered on square grounds, reproduced the same size, looked identical.

Later, in New York in the late 1970s, Mosset undertook a long series of monochrome paintings, during the heyday of Neo-expressionism. He became a founding member of the New York Radical Painting group, radical referring both to an implied radical social stance, as well as a returning to the radical "root" of painting. This re-assertion of social relevance for abstraction, and even the monochrome, hadn't been emphasized to such a degree since Kazimir Malevich and  Alexander Rodchenko.

In the 1980s neo-geo artists, such as Peter Halley who asserted a socially relevant, critical role for geometric abstraction, cited Mosset as an influence.

Mosset represented Switzerland at the 44th Venice Biennale in 1990 and participated in the Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2008.

In 2007, Olivier Mosset donated 171 works from his own collection to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de La Chaux-de-Fonds (MBAC) in Switzerland.

In 2012 the artist created stage designs for a ballet, entitled Sous Apparence, at the Paris Opera Ballet.

Mosset's works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain (MAMCO) in Geneva, and the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne, among other public collections.

Style Analysis
Mosset is inspired by abstract, conceptual, and minimalist art. He is well-recognized for his monochrome, shaped, minimalist paintings, in particular the series of over 200 oil paintings that were all identical. Those paintings Mosset realized from 1966 to 1974 all consist of a square white canvas measuring 100 cm by 100 cm, with a black circle painted in the middle. Three of those identical paintings have been shown together by the Pinault Collection: "A black ring in the center of a square canvas breaks the harmony of an immaculate surface."

Olivier Mosset coats his surfaces evenly with semigloss enamel - not so thick, however, that it entirely conceals the slub of the canvas beneath it - a big one all black, a smaller one all white. The hard enamel creates a shiny plane so light-catching that it tends to dematerialize as you look at it.

Mosset developed his own style, sometimes even using objects or walls he transformed into monochrome paintings. One such example, as he recalled in an interview, was notably a fridge, consisting of two canvases with the same dimensions as a refrigerator and freezer compartment. Mosset mentioned an interesting fact: "I remember that the fridge I used for the work came from a piece by Bertrand Lavier, which was also shown at the gallery, in which Bertrand had placed the fridge on something else, a safe or something like that…"

Mosset is also well known for his sculptures. From 1993 onwards he has created "Toblerones", which are meant to reference the Swiss anti-tank barrages and are also known worldwide as a type of chocolate of a very specific triangular shape by the name Toblerone. He exhibited a large selection of his Toblerones at his 2003 retrospective at the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne. In 2003, Mosset also created a version of Toberlones in ice for Eispavillon (Ice Pavilion) in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, presented the following year in 2004, at Art Unlimited in Art Basel. In 2014, the artist re-created a version of his Toblerones in ice again for the Elevation 1049 exhibition in Gstaad.

As part of the government's vision to modernise the tax system, tax returns will be replaced by digital accounts.
One of the misconceptions that I have been responding to recently is that Making Tax Digital will require SME owners and contractors to file 4 tax returns each year. Put simply, this is not the case. Instead SMEs and contractors will send easy to file summary data each quarter. As the government stated, "Quarterly updates will largely be a matter of checking data generated from record keeping software".
Fortunately if you are already on the cloud, you will be able to send this information from your software. If not, there's no need to worry. My advice would be to invest in a cloud accounting provider who is already working closely with government in their digital transformation process, for example Sage One, Xero or QuickBooks.
Instead of rattling on about the advantages of cloud accounting, which I'm sure you're already aware of, we are holding a drop in day on Thursday 13 October that will give you a brief insight into cloud accounting.
If you feel that this is something which you would like to hear more about please click here and drop in at any time from 9am until 12noon, where our cloud accounting team will be able to answer any questions that you may have.
